M\u00f6venpick Ambassador Hotel Accra has been crowned as a leader in \u2018Hospitality\u2019 at the first edition of the Ghana Expatriate Business Awards for its outstanding contributions, accomplishments and service towards the development of the hospitality sector in the country.<\/p>\n
The Award recognizes M\u00f6venpick for its exceptionally high standards in product quality, increase in business activities, hotel service delivery and guest satisfaction.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Expatriate Business Awards was instituted by the Ministry of Trade and Industry in partnership with Millennium Excellence Foundation to honor international businesses for their immense contributions towards economic development in Ghana. To be conducted as a biannual affair, the Awards recognizes the role and impact of expatriate-led businesses in enhancing local economic diversification efforts, raising the standard of living for locals and supporting job creation, while attracting foreign direct investments (FDIs) into the country.<\/p>\n
Excited about the win, Axel Hauser, General Manager of the M\u00f6venpick Ambassador Hotel Accra said: \u201cWe are truly humbled by the recognition accorded to us at this inaugural Ghana Expatriate Business Awards. M\u00f6venpick Ambassador Hotel Accra takes pride in our commitment towards driving best practice in the hospitality sector in Ghana and we are pleased to have been acknowledged as leaders in the Hospitality category. Our employees have continuously demonstrated a passion for service excellence and we proudly accept this award on their behalf and thank them for their contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hotel industry in Ghana employs about 500,000 people, consisting mainly of the youth, and promotes the modernization of the country by giving a platform to foreign visitors to form their first impressions about the country. A recent report by PWC\u2019s Hospitality Outlook 2017-2021, suggests that the Ghanaian hotel industry is expected to grow 1.1% in 2017, 2.1% in 2018 and 2.3% in 2019. As a major emerging market in Africa, the study highlights that investors are increasingly eyeing opportunities in Ghana. The country continues to attract local and international brands to the country, including within the hospitality sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana\u2019s hospitality industry is set to profit from increased foreign investments and an influx of foreign travelers as the government embarks on a number of initiatives to stimulate economic growth. As the industry continues to grow, novel avenues continue to emerge for investment along the hospitality and tourism value chain,\u201d Mr. Hauser added.<\/p>\n
The awards were attended by high-level government dignitaries, Ghanaian and expatriate business leaders, and members of the media.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, M\u00f6venpick was bestowed with its sixth consecutive Green Globe Certification as the Hotel worked towards achieving its sustainable goals.
